that's so fucked up. i hope the dad gets what he deserves; no amount of child abuse is okay and he has the gall to do something so severe in a public place meant to be a safe place for families.

I just hate the news, it's never good.
People get rowled up over what they can't change.
So bash me for not caring after hearing negative stories for 10 years.
Stop watching it, problem solved.
i have no problem not being a pussy and showing kids how the real world works and pain is def a part of it. i HATE how overprotective our society has become. the nannystate is just the first letter in a evergrowing book of people not allowing kids to run free and explore the world.
i have no problem with the kid being knocked down from the ramp. only problem here is the kicker/father. This is small potatoes compared to what kids have endured historically, but that doesnt excuse anything. Ideally, the kid should know his father as a non-kicker.. but hell survive. like our previous generations of ancestors.
so. dont misunderstand my point.. i agree this was over the line. but i hate overprotection. and i hate the flock of sheep joining in to collectivly back up the nannies.
Fuck that. While I agree with hating over protection and the false sense excuse of "things are worse now" bullshit. It equally sucks using the excuse of "generations before us made bad decisions so I'm cool with it"Originally Posted by bohemian
We aren't talking about honing our survival skills in the wild here. This is a fun activity that was motivated by the dad's greed only. Don't mistake it my friend.
Edit: after re-reading your comment I know you aren't condoning the fathers actions. And your comment on "everyone jumping in" everyone SHOULD jump in. That's how we learn. Almost every girl I have known has had some form of rape happen to her. It ain't the same dude doing it. Maybe if "everyone jumped in" we would lose that ancestral trait. I firmly believe that this video going viral, this discussion we all are having, is positive and better things and awareness are happening.

Fuck I dont know how many have tried dropping in on a 14foot ramp. But that had to suck mighty fucking balls.
Im sure the kid lost a little respect and trust in his father now/
Antwan do you think before you say shit?
lol at ROC, hahahaa
Bohemian is Logical AF straight to the point, and totally understandable.
I personally have dropped in Once. on a 14footer and literally the greatest feeling but one of the scariest fuckin things Ive done on a skateboard.
I had a good 10+bails before I managed to commit. Once I dropped in I rode the wall up rolled back down and fucked right off cause I wasnt havent any of that vert.
biggest ramp I skated before that was a 10' and even that had me pumping for my life. Im not the best skater and I prefer street, but I love miniramps. Big Vert I have a HIGH RESPECT for the people who do what they do. Unbelievable.

But you DID watch it. And the original time I saw this (hours after it happened) was on Instagram. No news there it was footy. I didn't have time and it's easier to post what I did.
It being a news story and you having no compassion is unrelated... Fucking man up dude.

Don't have kids.
i had a really good paragraphed typed up telling you all to go back to your normal lives because theres not much we can do for this kid at this points. whats done is done. and i cant change what a parent does to their kid no matter what i show them on tv. seems like things are continually getting worse according to the public eye, but things have ALWAYS been worse. they're just being broadcasted now.
and yea, fuck that man for pushing his kid. i honestly hope the kid doesnt bore any type of hatred towards his dad and just grows up to be a respectable dude who loves his kids far better than his predecessor. but you know...thats all subject to change, just like your mood from right now will probably change from your mood tomorrow..and the next day.
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
bashing you so hard in my head right now antwan...so hard. lol
but like online bullying...close your browser, turn off your phone. disconnect from twitter. fucking interweb junkies who latch unto the world wide spier-web and then all their perceptions of the world come from fox news and BBC, then they go on a wikipedia-like tangent about change...and in the end someone replies with the ever-so-cool "too long didnt read" and ALL hope for change is lost in the thread along with the interest of all the participants. like many of these occurrences, they will be forgotten in time and burried with the rest of the "asshole dad" threads.
IM A BOSS ASS BITCH
meh the kid slid down the vert ramp... it wasnt like he went face first... i dont see anything wrong with it. better to learn falling in the long run "hard to watch" my ass this is not a bad thing considering what i had to grow up skating.
Did you not see his father push him off? That's what everyone's ticked off about. This video wouldn't have gotten the attention it has if it was just some kid falling down a vert ramp. Most would have just sympathized with him and went about with their day. I'm not sure if anything happened with your father when you were young but that doesn't make this okay.
Xbox is GONEEEE.

Don't be bitter because you ruined your body with a few to many (thousand) cupcakes and can't skate anymore. I'd like to push your ass off that ramp the same way and see how you do, meh meh meh

at least me and my kid can skate vert now.. its a whole hell of alot better that way than dropping in and land face first 14 ft up like i did... sorry.. I still dont see anything wrong with this.. to me its the exact same principle as pops throwing their kid over the boat telling them to swim or drown like theyve been doing for 1000's of years.. its called learn and adapt.. next time that kid will use his knee pads to slide down. after that hell be dropping in- and 6 months down the road hell be skating better than all you put together. so whatever. say what you want internet brigade... but fact is fact. quit turning our kids into pussies being so fuckin politically correct!
Ok neanderthal
We fucking adapt and learn from our mistakes. Don't fucking compare this to changing the name of the Washington Redskins.
Good lord and if I'm not mistaken you were an ambulance driver. Nice compassion broseph
"Next time he will learn to use his knee pads" I don't think I even need to comment on this one to show its absurdity
Internet brigade = almost every other human being thinks I am dead fucking wrong so I'm going to call them names instead of taking a good look at how I think

It's not common anymore for fathers to throw their kids overboard when they can't swim. That practice is outdated, much like your use of the word "pops".
love how there always some people who try to legitimize the use of physical/mental abuse. what is life? lmao
if anything i could come up with an essay as to why skateboarding as whole is bad for the human body just using the sheer amount of injuries the activity has caused to many people who have participated in it. but that wouldnt matter because foolish people will still hurt themselves in pursuit of some "happiness" caused by a small piece of wood on wheels. i love skateboarding.
